Birth With Dignity, Joy and Peace of Mind |


|
Come join us in exploring your journey toward motherhood with other new mothers through the fun, sometimes meditative and soul-searching, but always enjoyable and illuminating process of creating art! You will be led through a journey from the moment you walk in the door, through your fears, your hopes, your dreams, and you will explore these with other mothers-to-be experiencing similar issues. Don’t be afraid if you’re not “artistic,” there is no artistic ability required, simply a willingness to explore and maybe get a little messy! You will find that this class series leaves you with a deeper sense and understanding of yourself as a mother, and you will come away with some keepsakes and possibly even a new friend or two.
Classes may include, but are not limited to:

Belly Casting: (extra supply fee required) We will create a life sized cast of your beautiful, bountiful belly, and you can add your own personal, creative touch in the sanding and decorating your keepsake.
Birth Sculpture: Design and create your own personal birth totem, something you may even decide to use as a focal point during your labor or just keep as a reminder of your power as a birthing woman
Henna Body Art: Explore the ancient tradition of henna body art and adorn that delicious belly with a unique and beautiful design, or decorate your hands and feet (effects may last up to a week or two!)
Collage: Create a collage reflecting your inner and outer journey from maiden to mother, through pregnancy and into motherhood.
Mandala: Create a mandala that will help you manifest your hopes and dreams for motherhood.
Birth Necklaces/Bracelets: Join with your sisters in motherhood as you create a special bracelet or necklace for each woman in the class. You will receive your own bracelet or necklace to wear during your labor to keep you connected to the powerful energy of the birthing women who have come before you.
Labyrinths: Create the ultimate symbol of birth, a finger labyrinth for you to meditatively walk as you contemplate taking your journey toward motherhood, with its twists and turns, knowing you will make it to the center and out again.
Birth Art Exploration: Unique and interesting exercises that will help you tap into your own inner knowing and intuition about pregnancy, birth, and motherhood to help you work through any unconscious fears you may have as you stand at the brink of this journey.
